Minnesota Community Networks Center for Eliminating Cancer Disparities: Cervical Cancer Screening Project Part C Quantitative
This proposal has been developed through collaboration between the University of Minnesota
and New American Community Services (NACS), and the research design is based on a needs
assessment conducted by the community partner. The investigators will test the hypotheses
that women who are offered home vaginal bio-specimen collection will have higher rate of
cervical cancer screening completion than that of women referred for clinic-based Pap test.
All participants will be given identical education materials on cervical cancer screening and
HPV, currently in use by the Minnesota Sage Program.

The trial will pilot text a protocol for home vaginal bio-specimen collection for human
papillomavirus (HPV) testing for cervical cancer screening. The main objective is to estimate
the successful screening completion rate among a sample of Somali women who have not
undergone cervical cancer screening for three or more years. Women will be randomized to
either home vaginal bio-specimen collection or referral to undergo a clinic-based Pap test.
